Team Tripawds needs YOU to help Morris Animal Foundation end dog and cat cancer, by walking with us virtually or in person on Sunday April 28 in Elk Grove, California.
Funds raised at this event goes toward funding the work of oldest and most respected animal health research organizations in the world, the Morris Animal Foundation.
We wholeheartedly support Morris Animal Foundation because of the huge impact their animal cancer research has had on the lives of our beloved pets. The organization continues making strides but they need our ongoing help.
Since 1948, Morris has funded over 148 succesful pet cancer studies, such as;
- Research that showed how bone cancer spreads
- Ways to custom tailor chemotherapy
- How chemo resistant cancer cells behave
These Morris Events help raise money so Morris can continue these breakthrough discoveries.
Join Us in Elk Grove, or at Home in Your PJs!
This walk will take place in Elk Grove, near Sacramento. Anybody is welcome to join our team on-site, but remember you can also walk virtually from the comfort of your own home.
We will also be carrying the wonderful Tripawds Tribute Leash! If you haven't sent in your tribute ribbon for the project, please read about how you can do that here.
Team Tripawds has participated in every walk since they began a couple of years ago, and we would sincerely appreciate any kind of support you can give toward this effort.
Let's make this year's Northern California walk bigger and better than ever so we can reach our goal of curing canine cancer for good!

When is the cut off to get our part of the Tribute leash in? If we don't make this one I know it will be there for the next. I found some cute paw print ribbon but when I tried to write on it it you couldn't see it. So have to wait til Hobby Lobby is open tomorrow. None at Wally World LOL.

Oh I'd say if you got it to Karen no later than the week of 4/22 it should be fine. Thanks for making one!

I made a post on my Facebook page so if we get some donations from people who aren't on this site I hope that is ok. I know of at least one of my friends who is planning on making a donation.

Oh my gosh YES! Thank you for doing that. As long as folks remember to make the donation & designate Team Tripawds as the recipient we can be in the running for the top fundraising team.
Thanks so much!!!

Woohoo! One more team member, Ralph Kanz of the Oaktown Pack (pictured on the right with the amazing Miss Codie Rae), has joined Team Tripawds! Thanks Ralph!
We need $145 more to go to reach our $500 fundraising goal for Morris. The walk is 4/28, just a couple of weeks away!
Remember you walk in person or from the comfort of home. And don't forget we will also be carrying the wonderful Tripawds Tribute Leash at the walk. If you haven't sent in your tribute ribbon for the project, please read about how you can do that here.

Who is going to actually be in Elk Grove for the walk...you know, paws on the ground?
I'll be there with some number of the pugapalooza, and the by now famous green stroller. I know the Oaktown pack will be represented, Brad and Anna should be there. I'll be wearing my red Tri-Pug Power T-shirt.
We will have the TripawdsTribute Leash there as well, there is still time to get a ribbon to me.
Karen
